Abstract	Parent engagement is one approach to decrease the opportunity gap for Black, American Indian, and all children of color. This report from the field describes the use of the World Café participatory approach to support parent engagement in five early childhood, culturally embedded Montessori programs. Serving the Whole Child (SWC) is a community-university partnership between St. Catherine University, Montessori Center of Minnesota, five early childhood Montessori schools, and school parent leaders. Using a participatory approach, parent leaders from each school co-designed the development, implementation, and analysis of the World Café. The World Café asked school parents what was working and what parents needed help with related to three topics: parent well-being, caring for a young child, and school-community connection. Each World Café was tailored to honor the school's unique community, cultural values, and family needs. Parent leaders synthesized and coordinated with schools to develop offerings to meet the priorities of the recommendations and key topics. World Café is a participatory process that may increase parent leadership and school engagement in ways that support caregiving and child success. (As Provided).
